TV time poll

Just curious to see how much TV time your 10 month LO (little one) is getting. I try for none unless I really need to keep her entertained while get things done that she can't be around for, but don't know how much is acceptable.

Our tv is usually always on, Ill watch it and I kind of like the background noise. Half the time no ones actually watching it if im cooking dinner or doing chores. LO (little one) never watched it though. Shes just not interested.

Same. The only time she ever notices the tv is when music plays. She'll stop for a second, look at it and then go back to what she was doing.

My tv is also usually on all day but lo doesn't usually pay attention to it unles the Family Feud comes on. I don't know why but she absolutely loves that show. She will stop what she's doing and crawl to the tv and squeel and gets so excited.

The toddler watches 2 episodes of Mickey Mouse every day. LO (little one) doesn't seem all the interested and goes about her day.

On road trips it's the opposite. LO (little one) cries when we turn the TV off. I guess she figures she may was well be entertained if she's in the car anyway. He toddler likes to just look out the window.

I love the baby channel! Lo likes the colors, music, and animations. We also like the mommy and me sing alongs. She really likes Curious George as well. We've been spending a ton of time on the living room floor with a blanket because she's not crawling yet. The television is usually on. When I'm busy and can't be on the floor with her, the tv is usually on while she plays with her toys on the floor. It definitely buys me extra time to get things done while keeping an eye on her. I do not feel like I am doing a disservice to her by having the television on age appropriate channels. Happy mom, happy baby. To each their own.

DH (dear husband) and I watch a couple episodes a day but lo is usually playing with his toys. If we notice him just starting at the tv we'll pause it until we can distract him. Thankfully I have roommates to watch him while I cook dinner, otherwise it would be more.

My LO (little one) will not watch TV at all. I had never seen Daniel Tiger before, so I put it on and tried to get her to watch. She couldn't care less. She does like Minions (I think it's the bolig eyes), she will pay attention to the Minion movie for like 5 min.

The only TV we own is in our bedroom so there isn't even a screen in sight where we play or the places she adventures off to but if we're over at any of the grandma/pas houses and the tv is on we don't really care.. So total she probably gets an hour- hour and a half a week!
